Last week concluded the NFL regular season, I'm sad to say the Giants will be home watching the playoffs on TV with the rest of us. Here are our week 17 results: Blue 14-2, Mag 13-3 (fixed, sorry), Batman 12-4 (also fixed, and I'm assuming Batman's second pick of the Texans was the Titans), Creston 11-5, Verno and Jivaro 10-6, and Cutter 7-9. Extra props to Batman as the only prognosticator who saw the Bucs beating the Falcons in Atlanta.

I'm running a little behind to tally the regular season results right now, so for the meantime, here are my playoff picks. As much as I've been trying to convince myself this is a terrible idea, I'm going to pick the visiting team in each game.

And speaking of nin. I caught the Harbit yesterday and it was ok. Definitely not LOTR good but I suspect the next 2 flicks will be better. Anyway, for some reason I kept picturing nin all snuggled into his seat in the theater eating his popcorn and sipping his coke and tittering like a school boy as he watched it.

“That's it. You people have stood in my way long enough. I'm going to clown college!”
